At least on the AHL board, it sounds like the stream quality is pretty crap for that, just fyi. Have no first hand experience with it, though.

Here's a topic about it if you want to read some user accounts, though:

It was absolutely terrible last year.

They're changing up their whole streaming service

Andrei Altybarmakyan played for SKA's junior (MHL) team today. He scored a powerplay goal.

I think this was to get him some early season ice time, and he should be back with the VHL team for games tomorrow and Tuesday.

 

[Hawkaholic]

Why is he not in the KHL?

 

[migi]

Why is he not in the KHL?

The KHL team is stacked again. AA isn’t good enough.

This was a good article on how the Hawks develop their players and how they evaluate the players.

Will Boqvist be sent to London?

It is an interesting article. I think he would be suprised to see how many fans watch for reads, etc. or maybe the is a concentration of fans who do on here.

Will Boqvist be sent to London?

Absolutely

 

[BK]

Will Boqvist be sent to London?

Yes. He has to adjust to the NA game/rink size. The AHL wouldn’t be good for him (not this early at least). London knows how to develop players.

Guys a stud

This organization is exceptionally good at identifying talent. Stan is much worse at cap management than he is at drafting, which is something that I hope he learns from. His drafting is so good, in fact, that I'd give him a chance to rebuild this and learn from his mistakes next time when managing the cap. Seems to be a chip off the ol'block when it comes to having an eye for talent.

 

[Kaners Bald Spot]

To follow up on the Hawks being awesome at finding talent, McNeill is the only 1st round pick so far that you can say was a complete flop since Bowman took over, and finding Saad in the 2nd round completely makes up for it.
Players with at least 1 full season of NHL experience that were drafted by the Hawks, even if playing elsewhere:
2010:
Kevin Hayes (1-25)
Stephen Johns (2-60)
Joakim Nordstrom(3-90)

2011:
Philip Danault(1-26)
Brandon Saad (2-43)
Andrew Shaw(5-139)

2012:
Teuvo Teravainen (1-18)
Vinnie Hinostroza (6-169)

2013:
Ryan Hartman (1-30)
John Hayden(3-74)

2014:
Nick Schmaltz(1-20)

2015:
None

2016:
Alex DeBrincat (2-39)


Decent-to good prospects with limited to no NHL experience:
D. Sikura
Boqvist
Beaudin
Wise
Jokiharju
Mitchell
Kayumov

Fringe prospects with potential to become decent:
Altybarmakayan
Soderlund
Nordgren
Nalimov
Gravel
Bondra

AHL/NHL tweeners
Dahlstrom
Tuulola


My question to you is, who has done better than the Hawks with a bottom 10 1st round draft position?

 

[TLEH]

I’d say Lightning and Bruins have done well. Kucherov and Pastrnak especially

certain posters will tell you otherwise, but I agree the Hawks have drafted well at lower positions. developing defensemen has been a problem, but when you do not draft any in the first round until this year, kind of an uphill fight. we have plenty of good young dmen now, but many from 2010 through 2016 didn't turn into much from 2nd round on...though Johns is a top 4 dman.

 

[Kaners Bald Spot]

I’d say Lightning and Bruins have done well. Kucherov and Pastrnak especially

People put too much stock into a late 1st round star like Kucherov, Kuznetsov and Pastrnak. Tampa drafted Slater Koekkoek 10th overall, but they don't ever get roasted for that one.

 

[TLEH]

I mean I’d put stock in drafting a top 3 RW in the 2nd.

 

[Kevin Musto]

And Brayden Point in the 3rd

 

[Teemu]

Jordan Maletta, acquired as part of the Hossa deal, will not play this year

 

[Hawkster]

Tim Söderlund scored both Frolunda goals in a 2-1 overtime win over Rogle.

His first points of the SHL season (4th game).

 

[CallMeShaft]

The two goals by Soderlund that Hawkster mentioned earlier, plus a nice play that he didn't score on.

 

[Hawkaholic]

Looking good.

 

[TLEH]

Guys is literally Arvidsson with better hands and not as good of a shot.

Future looks bright if they continue to develop.
